Mafia (2019)

Overview

Will you survive the game of Mafia? Two teams compete in this delightfully deadly party game. Based on the classic role-playing strategy game, it’s kill or be killed as innocent city folk pit their wits against a mob of ruthless international gangsters. Engage in a tangled web of intrigue, subterfuge, wild accusations, protestations of innocence and bluffing. Includes 24 street character cards, crime-scene notepad and definitive game guide with rules, case files, tactical tips and ideas for advanced play.

To begin a judge must be picked and they will take notes of moves. Character cards are dealt face down to each player. There are three levels of game you can play, described in The Ultimate Mafia Bible. In the most basic version of the game the judge asks all players to close their eyes. The mafia are then asked to open their eyes and silently pick a victim. All players then open their eyes and the victim is announced. The living players must then identify a suspect. That suspect is eliminated and this marks the end of round one. The game continues until all mafia or all civilians have been killed.
